How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
What does the slope of the distance time graph represent?
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
How can you get speed of an object from its distance-time graph?
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
What does a speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
How do you read a distance vs time graph and a speed vs time graph?
:Troll:
What graph can speed be determined from?
distance and time
How is a distance- time graph different than a speed time graph?
The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.
How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
How is the instantaneous speed obtained from a speed - time graph?
The instantaneous speed at a specific point on a speed-time graph is the slope of the tangent to the curve at that point. It represents the speed of an object at that exact moment in time. This can be determined by calculating the gradient at that particular point.
What happens to a graph of time and distance as speed increases?
The graph of distance vs time increases exponentially as speed increases.
Why area below the distance-time graph is used to calculate speed?
That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.
Is acceleration the slope of a line on a distance time graph?
No. The slope of the distance-time graph is the change in distance per unit of time - otherwise known as speed. Acceleration is the slope of the speed time graph.
What does the slope of the distance time graph represent?
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
How can you get speed of an object from its distance-time graph?
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
How can you get speed and distance covered by a body from distance time graph?
To get speed from a distance-time graph, you would calculate the slope of the graph at a given point, as the gradient represents speed. To calculate total distance covered, you would find the total area under the graph, as this represents the total distance traveled over time.
Determine the unit of a caterpillars speed if you measure the distance in centimeters and the time it takes to travel that distance in minutes how would you graph the data?
cm/min -- centimeters per minute, speed is always determined by distance over time. :)
A straight line on a distance time graph represents what type of speed?
A straight line on a distance-time graph represents a constant speed.
